Future Skills Forum

✨ Global Women in AI is coming to the Future Skills Forum Asia in Singapore I’m beyond thrilled to share that we will be officially launching Global Women in AI (GWAI) in Singapore at the Future Skills Forum Asia 2025 on 11 November 2025 at Marina Bay Sands. This moment feels incredibly special, a reflection of how far we’ve come and how committed we are to shaping an inclusive future. Together with CFTE - Centre for Finance, Technology and Entrepreneurship and IBFSG - The Institute of Banking & Finance Singapore, we’re bringing together over 800+ leaders, policymakers, technologists, educators, and innovators and students to explore how we can accelerate progress toward an AI-ready workforce. 💡 The launch of Global Women in AI is not just a milestone, it’s a statement that women belong at the centre of innovation, helping design the future of artificial intelligence that serves everyone. As we move deeper into an AI-driven world, our collective responsibility is to ensure that skills, opportunities, and representation are shared equitably. The Future Skills Forum is more than a conference, it’s a platform where policy, industry, and talent converge to shape the skills agenda for the AI era. And I’m so proud that Global Women in AI will be part of this incredible movement. 👩💻 Several GWAI Ambassadors will join us on stage, alongside our official opening celebration of Global Women in AI in Singapore, during Singapore FinTech Festival week. During the launch, we will hear from inspiring leaders on the Vision Stage, sharing perspectives that will shape the global future of skills.
